almost heaven

Ill admit it,
I called your house tonight to see if you had made it to Cassel (Kassel?) alright.
yes. I know thats lame.
Im sorry.

I know that you are busy,
and Im just being silly.

Last night I had a wonderful talk with Shtefan
about life, about love, about G-d.
At his best, he is a wondrous sort.
I'm so glad that my living there ended with such
a pleasant note.
I will miss him.

I finally received a real e-mail from Shawna today,
I've been worried about her...living in her call and all...
and the only communication I've had from her since she
left was:

your moving.
good for you.

which I thought was abit odd.
I know that she had planned on us seeing eachother abit more,
and apparently she wants to begin to talk theology again...
thank G-d.

The drive with Jeremy was amusing,
it was nice to have him pinned down in one place---
unable to escape my questions.

I can say that I know him much better now.
That alone was worth the trip.

When we got in to Medicine Hat I called Loren Hosfield
to see if he was in...he was...

It was wonderful to see him, wonderful.
He's just returned from New Zealand,
and was already talking about his next trip
to Ethopia and Libya. Im jealous.
If I could afford to travel with him I would.
Here is a man that has led (from what I can gather)
and extraordinary life. Novel worthy, full of beautiful
women driving porsches in the alps, cold war intrigue,
and the sun setting on ten thousand horizons.
But he can't hide that he's become lonely, he spends to
much time with people that need his care and attention
without being willing to give it back.

I need to make it back to see him.


He continues to be the reason that I believe it would
be alright for me not to get married.
There is a trade-off.
Though, depending on the women I marry...
It might be less so.

It was nice to sit down in the coffee shop with my mother
and jeremy. Im so proud of her. I remember a time when
I would have died to have my mother sit down with one of
my friends. Now, I love it....if only because she makes me look good.

Well, I hope that your classes are going well.
That Cassel (Kassel) is beautiful.
That youv've met some wonderful people.


Have a wonderful morning Faith.
